Compromised Accounts/Phishing

Information

If you suspect that your network account has been compromised, change your network password immediately, then click "Request Service" on the right to notify our staff.

Forward the email received to phishing@stlawu.edu so we can confirm credibility.

If a St. Lawrence email account is compromised it is often used to send large amounts of spam or conduct other nefarious actions. If our email system detects this activity, the account password is immediately changed. This prevents further unauthorized access to St. Lawrence network resources. The IT Help Desk will contact the account owner via the phone number that is on record with the University as soon as possible during business hours.
